Alphabet Soup

I've learned a lot by being in Sacramento these past weeks. Allow me to share the inside knowledge:

There is always a way to find free food. In fact, I think Buchanan's office should be added to the official list of local watering holes. Its certainly on the list of go-to spots for a daily dose of vitamin c for in-the-know staffers. Disclaimer: An apple a day keeps the doctor away, not the lobbyists. 

Sometimes when making calls, it is best not to mention which office you are from. Staffers are much nicer when they think they are speaking with a constituent

There is a puppy in Fiona Ma's office.



Things I have yet to fully grasp:

Why they vote "aye" but not "nay"

How the Senate can sit in session surrounded by red and pink walls and carpet without getting a head ache.

How the legislature can continue to start floor sessions with a prayer led by a priest.

How to navigate between the main building and the annex.
